About the Role: 

The Global Alliances Senior Partner Program Manager is a senior individual contributor responsible for executing the global partner program strategy and priorities established by the VP of Global Alliances. This role drives day-to-day operationalization and continuous improvement of Dragos's partner program across all five partner segments: Distributors, Value-Added Resellers (VARs), Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Global System Integrators (GSIs), and Hyperscaler Marketplace providers. 

Working under the direction of the VP of Global Alliances, this individual translates strategic intent into structured workstreams, scalable processes, and measurable outcomes.

• Assess and improve partner support infrastructure (portal, PRM, help desk) and establish SLAs to ensure responsive, high-quality partner support experience.
• Own end-to-end partner onboarding and intake process, streamlining workflows and eliminating bottlenecks to reduce time-to-active across all segments.
